http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net LOS. Also, the rule book says that on a charge a unit may come closer to other units than one inch. Soo.. by a strict RAW reading I was wrong even though the dryads on 25mm bases would have had to conga line in between the two units in order to pull the charge off and would have ended the charge movement in base contact with both my skinks and my saurus. Is there something I'm missing or do I owe my friend an apology?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233723/620067.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233723/620067.page GMT
you don´t have to have a 1¨ gap between your units. there is only a required 1¨ gap between enemy units. there are times when this is obviously nessesary to break

a) if you charge a unit while there is an enemy unit within 1¨ that is ok (so two blocks next to each other).


in regards to your original situation he can charge the saurus but only if you left him line of sight of the saurus. if the skinks were covering the front completely (in like a half circle fashion) then there was no way he could charge them. if you only covered half of the front of the saurus then yes he can charge them.

also you have to charge in the arc your in. so if the dryads are in the front arc of the saurus you can´t run around the skinks and charge the saurus in the flank

if i was the wood elf player though i would have just charged the skinks, had them as an appetizer and then overran into the the saurus for the next turns combat. better yet charged the saurus with a different unit and then fight twice in the same turn (gotta love that)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233723/620200.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233723/620200.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233723/620215.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233723/620215.page GMT
To be clear, he can draw LoS to any part of the Saurus, but since he is in the flank, he has to end up on the flank of the unit and if he can't fit, then it's a failed charge. Yes he can go around (but he has to have enough movement, if he's 8" away but has to move 5" around you, he's not going to make it), as skirmishers don't have wheeling or turning restrictions, but if you were blocking the flank then he can't declare any charge.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233723/621511.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233723/621511.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233723/626250.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233723/626250.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233723/626445.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233723/626445.page GMT
And of course, you shot yourself in the foot by mistakenly applying the rule about keeping enemy units 1" apart from one another to your friendly units. Friendly units can snuggle right up against one another, which can be a very useful tactic in defending against certain types of charges. Dwarves do it a lot. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233723/639674.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233723/639674.page GMT
